How should I think in this position?

Guys I need some suggestions on how I should think in tis position:

I can see that after d5 I could get an isolated pawn. I envisioned black knight going to e7 and black bishop going to b7 and rooks are coming. I can’t really see the position clearly but it SEEMS BAD Especially in 5minute games I can’t calculate much. Other moves in this position is Rfd1 or a4 which SEEMS FINE  for me. I used the word seems fine because I won’t even gonna use my time to think that.

I wonder how 2000 rating+ player would see this position and how they would think.

You shouldńt commit your pawn structure yet, because you dońt have completed development. Put your rooks on d1 and e1 and only than choose your plan depending on how black places his pieces.
